Figure A-5. IPsec-Protected and Unprotected Communications

A device can belong to only one network at a given time:

Secure Network—Contains all NAP clients that have health certificates and that require incoming communications to be authenticated via IPsec, using a health certificate.

Boundary Network—Contains all NAP clients that have health certifi- cates but that do not require that IPsec communications be authenticated with a health certificate.

Restricted Network—Contains all devices that do not have a health certificate, including non-compliant endpoints, devices that run non-NAP- compatible operating systems, and guests.

The HRA helps endpoints to obtain the health certificate necessary for communicating in the secure network. Figure A-6shows the network access process.
